The silver moon remained high in the sky, but the scenery had changed completely.
A young figure floated in the air, darting quickly through the forest.
Behind him, several fierce soul beasts chased after their prey, roaring in anger.
"Die!"
A cold glint flashed in the young man's eyes.
He had only been experimenting with the power of his fourth soul skill in the forest, accidentally killing a soul beast cub!
Yet, these soul beasts had gathered in force and were relentless in their pursuit.
They simply didn't know when to quit—seeking their own doom!
However, their numbers were many, and he wasn't yet their match. Fortunately, the soul bones left by his parents had the 'Flight' skill, allowing him to maneuver around them.
"Blue Silver Domain, Bind!"
With a slight thought, Tang San [Blue Silver Grass], having evolved into [Blue Silver Emperor], immediately released its domain.
This domain was one of the reasons he could maneuver around so many soul beasts in their territory.
Under the effect of the Blue Silver Domain, all the Blue Silver Grass rapidly grew wildly, now fully integrated as part of his martial soul.
They jointly performed 'Bind,' wrapping up the furious soul beasts that were relentlessly chasing him.
However, among these soul beasts, at least three with 7,000-8,000 years of cultivation broke free from the 'Bind' immediately!
But Tang San had been waiting for this very moment!
In a swift movement, he spun midair, his soul rings flashing.
Four soul rings: Yellow! Yellow! Purple! Black!
The fourth black soul ring flickered, and Tang San cold voice echoed, "Fourth soul skill, Blue Silver Overlord Spear!"
A long spear formed in his hand, then hurled directly toward the bound soul beasts!
"Roar!"
The bound soul beasts broke free from the 'Bind' at that moment, leaping up in rage, and just as they did, they collided with the spear.
Thrust!
The spear pierced through the soul beast's head, nailing it to the ground.
Other soul beasts, seeing this, became even angrier and rushed toward Tang San one after another.
Tang San face changed slightly.
After using a series of skills and maintaining 'Flight' for a long time, his soul power had already run low.
He had intended to kill one with this thunderous attack to deter the others.
But to his surprise, this act only enraged them further, and the intimidation effect failed completely.
"Soul beasts are soul beasts, a bunch of uncivilized, bloodthirsty beasts!"
Tang San cursed inwardly, but just as he thought about it, his face turned slightly awkward.
He suddenly remembered that he also had the bloodline of a soul beast within him!
A wave of emotion surged in his heart, but he had no time to dwell on it and quickly turned to flee.
But at this moment...
"Get lost!"
Tang Hao's voice rang out like heavenly power, directly forcing the snarling soul beasts to the ground. Some weaker ones were even crushed on the spot.
"Dad!"
Tang San was overjoyed and looked toward the newcomer.
"Mm."
Tang Hao nodded slightly.
After bringing Tang San to meet the 'Blue Silver King' and successfully helping Tang San martial soul [Blue Silver Grass] evolve into [Blue Silver Emperor], he had been personally training Tang San.
At the same time, he had shared all the secrets with Tang San.
Fortunately, Tang San mind was mature, and he didn't let the revelation that his mother was a soul beast cause him to fall into despair or reject it.
"I didn't expect that the 'Blue Silver King' would give everything to allow your soul power to break through to level 40 and even offer itself to you, helping you form a soul ring capable of growth. This allowed you to break through to a four-ring Soul Grandmaster, and your soul power directly reached level 42!"
"I originally thought your foundation would be unstable under such circumstances."
"But looking at you now, your foundation is completely unaffected, and your strength has significantly improved!"
"Though losing the [Eight Spider Lances] was unfortunate, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise!"
"I believe that if you encounter Li Yu again, you will have the strength to fight back!"
Tang Hao's expression was complicated as he looked at Tang San with a gaze full of hope.
With Tang San current strength, he had a great chance to win the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition!
If that happened, he could return to the Haotian Clan with such glory!
All the past would finally be settled, and everything would be perfect!
A smile appeared on Tang Hao's lips, but then his expression faltered.
The uncertainty still lay in the figure of Li Yu!
If Li Yu also participated in the competition, the difficulty would rise dramatically.
He would need to find a way to prevent Li Yu from participating—or at least keep him from competing!
Tang Hao's thoughts raced, and Tang San eyes also flashed with a cold murderous intent.
Li Yu!
She had taken his [Eight Spider Lances]!
Although it had led to his [Blue Silver Grass] evolving into [Blue Silver Emperor], gaining the 'Blue Silver Domain,' and even breaking through to level 42, with his fourth soul ring being a ten-thousand-year soul ring thanks to the help of the 'Blue Silver King,' the disparity was not large enough to deter him.
The soul ring match of 'Yellow Yellow Purple Black' was still not as impressive as Li Yu 'Purple Purple Purple Black' match.
But it was only a difference of less than a thousand years of soul ring age!
Such a gap could be easily accepted!
So, when Tang Hao said that Tang San now had the strength to compete with Li Yu, a trace of disdain appeared in his eyes.
In his heart, he told himself that if he met Li Yu again, he wouldn't just have "the strength to fight," he would surely win and reclaim his [Eight Spider Lances]!
And he had the ten-thousand-year [Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone], what could Li Yu possibly compete with him?
Tang San couldn't think of a single reason Li Yu could surpass him!
If anything, Li Yu only had one more level of soul power than he did now.
Such a gap was negligible!
"Li Yu, just wait. The next time we meet, it will be your death!"
Tang San muttered to himself, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Now, let's begin the second phase of the special training!"
Tang Hao thought for a moment and couldn't come up with a particularly good plan.
After all, Li Yu was the Princess Consort of the Heavenly Dou Empire, and if he forcibly intervened, it would likely worsen his relationship with the empire.
That would not benefit his return to the Haotian Clan.
So he temporarily abandoned this idea and shifted his focus to improving Tang San strength.
"Perhaps the plan needs to change. If we encounter a suitable soul beast, we should begin adding soul rings to the [Haotian Hammer]!"
Tang Hao thought to himself, preparing to start the next phase of special training with Tang San.
"Dad, how are Xiao Wu and the others doing now?"
Tang San suddenly spoke.
Since the incident in the Soul Battle Arena at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, he hadn't seen any of his companions, so he couldn't help but feel a bit homesick.
And he hadn't had the chance to ask earlier.
Now, seeing that Tang Hao seemed to be in a good mood, he couldn't resist asking.
Tang Hao paused for a moment, his eyes flashing with hesitation.
After thinking it over, he still didn't tell Tang San about Xiao Wu true identity.
From what he had seen that day, Xiao Wu had somehow concealed her aura, and even he couldn't see through it.
As for Xiao Wu feelings for Tang San, he had noticed them.
So, he felt it was best to let the two of them interact as normal people, and only when they faced a crisis would they be able to unleash their true potential.
With that in mind, Tang Hao spoke sternly, "The stronger you become, the happier she will be when you reunite. Focus on improving yourself, and stop thinking about relationships for now!"
Tang San spirit was shaken, and he quickly nodded, "Yes, Father!"
